Wei Shu

Chapter 43 The Red List
The young man felt suffocated inexplicably, as if a giant claw pinched his throat, cold sweat dripped from the corner of his forehead.

He paused for a moment.

It wasn't that he was unwilling to answer this question, but that his throat was tight and it was difficult to speak for a while.

Trying his best to break free from the feeling of dying, the young man barely raised his trembling hands, took off the knuckles, held it in his palm, and presented it in front of Shujiu, with a nearly broken voice in his mouth :
"Master said...this...give it to me, and he will...make a new one."

After just saying this sentence, the strength in his whole body seemed to have been drained, and the young man maintained the posture of raising his hands entirely by relying on the stubbornness in his chest.

Shujiu neither went to pick up the knuckles, nor looked at him again, but there was a vain smile on his face: "Respect the teacher's love, you should cherish it."

He recognized the knuckles.

It was indeed Gou Ba's thing, referring to the venom on the tiger's iron thorns, which was also brewed by Gou Ba himself.

Gou Ba is proficient in toxicology, he also knows some mechanisms, and he can also forge simple weapons. Shu Jiu knows all about this, so he has no doubts about the boy's answer in front of him.

After all, there are not many people in this world who know how to kill like Gouba.

On this point, Shujiu is still ashamed of himself.

Hook Ba is really good at killing people.

And the older he was, the faster he killed people.

This is not only due to his great martial arts skills and superb hooking techniques, but also because he never sticks to formalities in killing people, poisoning, trapping, ambushing, sneak attacking... All these are done to the extreme, and his status and reputation If this kind of thing does not exist for him.

Just two years ago, in order to kill a certain outstanding martial arts master on the villa's red list, Gou Ba spent a lot of money to invite black and white characters, and used the method of fighting with wheels to kill that person alive. Easily removed the man's head.

This is the reason why Gouba kills faster and faster.

Compared with Shujiu's pursuit of the ultimate in calligraphy, Gouba's pursuit is the ultimate in killing itself.

It is said that the most common sentence that Gouba's opponents yelled before they died was:

"You scumbag!"

Only because it is despicable, it always wins.

Although he disapproves of such actions, Shu Jiu also admits that the reason why Gou Ba became Gou Ba is that what he knows and does can be justified, and the method of killing people is also self-contained. A real "martial arts practitioner", not an ordinary rivers and lakes.

"Earing—"

A slight sound pierced the night, and the half-closed red lacquer door finally closed completely, but Shu Jiu had disappeared in front of the door.

The young man wearing the Nuo costume stood alone by the door. The whole figure was just fished out of the water, and his whole body was soaked.

That knuckle tiger was the "news from Gouba" that Jian Shiyi had given him as agreed.

At dusk today, the young man went to the courtyard as promised, but Arrow Eleven never showed up, and only left a secret mark in a corner of the ruined wall, signaling him to go to a certain place in the north of the city.

He found the destination according to the instructions, but there was still only a secret mark, which led him to the next place.

In this way, the young man searched for the secret all the way, all the way from the north of the city to the east of the city, and then turned back from the east of the city to the north of the city, and finally found this knuckle in the crack of the wall of an abandoned house.

He recognized it as a hook at a glance.

In addition to this knuckle, Arrow Eleven also left a note, but there was no handwriting on the note, only a picture.

In the painting, a young man with a strange weapon on his back gallops forward. The tall city wall towers behind the young man. The forehead is very eye-catching.

"Can she still draw?"

The young man took out the paper from his sleeve, looked at it repeatedly under the moonlight, and murmured very lightly.

He didn't know much about Arrow Eleven.

Although they had met several times and helped each other, he didn't know each other's name at that time. It wasn't until later when he saw the portrait of the girl on the red list that he realized that the beautiful girl with a scar on her forehead The woman actually ranked No. 11 on the top list.

Only one step away, you can reach the top ten.

To this day, the teenager still remembers how surprised and shocked he was when he stood in front of the portrait.

The girl who had exchanged jokes with him turned out to have stood at a height that he could not reach.And when he realized this, what aroused in the young man's heart was not self-ashamedness, but a fighting spirit so strong that it could not be added.

He also wanted to be like that girl, to become a famous person on the top list, and to be the object of others' admiration.

However, this same girl was also recorded as No.11 on the red list while being recorded as No.17 on the head.

The people listed in the red list of the villa are all people who can be killed and must be killed, so there is another nickname on this list, called "Ecstasy List".

One "red" plus one "hook" means beheading in execution ground.Most of the people on this list will not live for more than a year.

The ranking of the red list is the same as that of the other lists of the villa, and the higher the ranking, the more difficult it is to deal with, because besides the masters of the rivers and lakes, sometimes there are officials from the imperial court among these people.

The former is nothing more than that, there are always vendettas and killings in the Jianghu, no matter how many people die, no one will ask more questions.The latter needs to be handled with care, otherwise it will cause unnecessary trouble.

Therefore, this type of character on the red list is not allowed to be named at will, that is, the "unkillable" on the red list.

These "unkillable" teams will be composed of eight masters personally appointed by Zhuangtou. From spying on the news to killing people, every part is carefully arranged, and this process often takes several months or even half a year.

In Yue Bawu's memory, the death of officials on the red list did not stir up trouble, because without exception, they all died "ordinary", or were "seriously ill", or "accidents" such as startled horses or falling into the water. , basically invisible blood.

Of course, the "unkillable" are still a minority after all, and most of the people on the red list are still Jianghu people, that is, "everyone can be killed".

In the villa, no matter which one of the eight tribes you belong to, or you are not a member of the eight tribes at all, as long as you have the ability to kill these "all can be killed", you can also get extremely generous rewards, and you will also be rewarded. Can improve their rank.

Therefore, every time a red list is published, everyone in the village fights bravely to be the first, even the sweeping boy dares to announce his name on the list.

And it is extremely rare in the villa that one person like Jianxiu belongs to the two rankings, and the rankings are all within the twentieth.

However, Arrow Eleven, who is so eye-catching and should be the center of everyone's discussion, is rarely mentioned to her, as if the word "Arrow Eleven" is taboo, and something bad will happen if you touch it thing.

What's more, after the name of Arrow Eleven on the red list, no one came to reveal the name.

In other words, not only were the people in the village unwilling to mention this woman, they even had no intention of killing her.
